Thresh Farmstead Garlic Scapes come from a hardy, heirloom garlic that’s been growing wild on our 1880s farmstead for decades—long before we arrived. We’re not sure of its exact variety, but it thrives without care, spreading itself along ditches and flower beds and returning year after year.

On our farm, this unique garlic reproduces by forming small bulbils at the top of its flower stalks, but in early summer it produces long, curling scapes—the tender green flower stems that are a seasonal delicacy. The scapes have a fresh, mildly garlicky flavor, perfect for pestos, stir-fries, pickling, or grilling whole. While the plants do form bulbs, we harvest primarily for the scapes; we suspect the bulbs would be larger if cultivated rather than left to grow wild.

Harvested fresh from our naturally grown, non-GMO garlic patch, these scapes are available only for a short time each year—get them while they last! Ships in Fall.
